<TD vAlign=top width="64%"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The South Australian tuna
diver has told how he volunteered to jump into a tuna pen to try to kill the
injured shark. “Somebody had to do it, no one else was too keen, so I went in,”
Stefanek, 38, said.

The struggle took place recently at a tuna farm off
the coast of Mexico and the tale of the Aussie who "wrestled" the fearsome fish
has spread.

Stefanek, who returned to Port Lincoln this month after a
six-month contract working on Mexican tuna farms, played down his feat. “It was
one of those things that just happened,” he said. "The shark had got in by
biting its way through the bottom of the net after detecting a couple of dead
fish. There was just no way we could get it out, so the decision to kill it was
made and some blokes shot it – but no way it would die. It started to get messy
and I jumped into the water and swam outside the net so I could shoot it with a
power head (spear-fitted with a shotgun cartridge).”

The white pointer
became enraged and began thrashing around the 45m diameter tuna net.

<FONT face=Arial size=2>“Someone had to go in,” Stefanek said. “I was the
most experienced diver there and no one else was too keen, so I went inside the
net. The shark saw me and went berserk. I tried to kill it quickly and fired at
its head, which only stunned it.
I fired eight more times and it kept coming
back and thrashing. I think it was then that I started to get a bit scared.
Another diver could see I was in trouble and came inside the net – we figured we
were not going to kill it and I thought we'll have to drag it
out.”

Stefanek surfaced and called for a rope and pulley and dived again
to tie a rope around the shark's tail.

While the fish was distracted
with another diver, Stefanek looped and knotted its tail and signaled to start
winching. “It was after I looked at it on the boat I realised it was huge,” he
said. “No one there had ever seen a shark so big and there were a few stunned
and amazed looks.”

”The great pity was it had to be killed – particularly
as it was wounded. I know they (great whites) are becoming extinct. But there is
only one of me and it could have made me extinct very quickly.”</FONT></P></TD>

Wow!!! Great story!

I'm glad that thing is dead

Dubious story.

I love the pic of the guy standing next to the shark that he "Wrestled" after an undisclosed number of shots had been put into it by "some blokes" followed by 9 "spear fitted with a shotgun cartridge" shots.

The buggar must have taken some wrestling after that - brave men those Aussies.

They should have just cut the net and let the thing go - one less Great White chalked up to commercial fishing - *******s.

Big deal. I've done that before.

It was for the ribs wasn't it.

Don't fawk with Deano.

He ought to think about getting out off the tuna business and get a nice, safe, office job.
He used up his luck for the rest of his life.

No. I was trying to save a young gal who had a great white stuck in her nostril.

They have been farming salmon off the west coast of Scotland for 30 years - it definatley causes problems - the seabed around all the farms is dead.

I still think this story is bad - to save a few dollars they "had no choice" but to kill the shark - I still stand beside the *******s statement.

You suck at the links.

Do you guys remember a beer that was imported... it's been over 10 years ago and was a european beer. I think the name started with a "K" and it was in a "fat" can. They stopped importation for one reason or the other around ten years ago or so.
